- This is the first cut of some MIME for windows tools.
-
- The main applications are metaplay.exe and metarec.exe.
-
- The supplied mailcap file assumes the following
- audio/basic
- You have sox and voc2wav
- image/gif
- You have wingif
- image/jpeg
- You have cview386
-
- The mailcap file has extra fields that mean
- file-extension= This is used to specify the prefered
- file extension for temp files that the
- application is going to need/assume.
- out-filter= Given that DOS/Windows hasn't got pipes
- this allows a filter to be run to convert
- the file before the application is run.
- of-ext= file extension used by the out-filter.
-
- There is an example out-filter in bas2wav.bat. The out-filter processing
- assumes that the first %s has of-ext extension and that the second %s has
- file-extension extension if they are specified.
-
- From the metaplay application, using the system menu (top left corner) you can
- imvoke a mailcap editor dialog. This is a bit buggy at the moment.
